"Using virtualization to improve quality and shorten QA time"
Many companies have reduced hardware expenses, increased server
capacity and compressed testing time with virtualization. Has your
organization considered virtualizing your servers? Desktops? Do you
have the expertise on staff for a virtualization initiative?

To learn more about how "Using virtualization to improve quality and
shorten QA time" please join us on Friday, February 13th 1130-1pm.
Frank LaFond, Sr. QA Engineer and founder of Agile NM, will lead a
discussion on how tight release schedules often demand compressed
testing time. Testing can be an arduous process. For example, to
verify a web application, tests need to be run against multiple
operating systems and multiple browsers on each. Further, testing
often modifies system resources that must be painstakingly restored
before the next testing iteration. Virtualization provides a clear
answer to these and related QA bottlenecks.
